Microsoft Forms (Require Number in Text Field)
Hello Everyone, I'm sure this probably a really simple question but how do I get Microsoft Forms to require a number entered as a text answer? The reason i'm asking is because I want to make an order form for monitor replacement for my school district but i'm finding that since its a text box they can enter anything. I had 3 responses that had questions and notes tacked into them and want to limit that for the future. Thanks

Can multiple users fill out the same form?
I am looking to create a form that multiple users can fill out: For commercial purposes, I am seeking to fill out the first two questions of a given form. I want to then submit those answers and send the form to a third party (with a notification) for them to fill out the remaining questions of the form. Finally, I want them to be capable of sending through the remaining answers back to me. Is the above realizable through Microsoft forms?How do I fully delete Form responses?
Hi, I created a Form with associated Flow and typed in a dummy response to check it was working correctly (it was). I then wanted to delete the dummy response - I went back into the Form and selected the response (Respondent 1) and clicked on 'Delete Response'. A genuine response then came in and I noticed that it marked it as Respondent 2. I exported the data to Excel and the first response was still there. I can no longer see the first response when in Forms but I cannot find a way to delete it from the spreadsheet (at point of origin, rather than manually each time I export the data). Does anyone know how I can permanently remove the first response from the spreadsheet and ideally, show Respondent 2 as Respondent 1?

Hi all. I have a number of PDFs for clients which contain questionnaires, score sheets, etc. Some are completely external, and some are from Microsoft Forms. A while back, I created a Macro/some VBA code to read data from the external PDFs, import it into Excel and display the figures; it works really well. Today, I've tried to update it to load data from the PDFs created by "printing" a Microsoft Forms complete questionnaire and saving as a PDF - unfortunately, when trying to import this into Excel (using "Get Data -> From File -> PDF"), the "Likert" questions are appearing but showing "null" for all the columns, not identifying which contains the "selected" checkbox. Possibly a slim hope, but I was wondering if anyone has experience doing something similar, or can recommend a way to get this to work? I know there are potentially other ways to approach this (I tried connecting it directly to the linked Sharepoint Excel file, but the URL is entirely powered by URL arguments ?foo=bar&baz=boing etc, and Excel demands those all be deleted when giving it a filename to connect to to get data from the web, helpfully); connecting it to a "local" version of the Excel file on OneDrive is a possibility, but ideally I'd a) want the tool to be accessible to people who have access to the PDFs but not the spreadsheet, and b) have to save the print-out PDFs in every client folder to store their data together, and the spreadsheet may occasionally be purged, so the PDF is the "safe" way to access the data.) PDFs can't be run through any online tools due to containing sensitive data. Many thanks.Forms data sync to Excel is now fully available with more functionality
